Robby “Sim9″ Zinchak is doing some remarkable work on a free-to-play in-your-browser totally-awesome-game project! Also, I used-too-many-hyphens in that last sentence. But seriously, I gave 8BitMMO a try last night and now keep trying to figure out whether to focus on work or returning to my 8-Bit home and continue building. Hopefully work will win out. Or maybe I secretly hope that. . .

In an upcoming update, I will be restricting some of the text characters that you can use in a username. This will affect extremely few people, but if you are affected, please contact me to get your user name updated.

Allowed characters in usernames will now be:

a-z

A-Z

0-9

space (but not at the start or end of a username, and not more than one consecutively)

dash

underscore

dot

PS - if there's a specific character you really want, I can look into supporting it
